Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority are set to make the 9th Public Transport Day with some fantastic giveaways

To mark the 9th Public Transport Day in the UAE, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) are giving away huge sums of money to public transport users.

If there was ever a reason to use public transport immediately this month - this is it. To mark the emirate's 9th Public Transport Day, the RTA are offering prizes worth upwards of AED 100,000 to public transport users and commuters across the city as part of their Public Transprot Movers' Award.

Between October 22nd and November 1st, the RTA will be rewarding the 5 most frequent public transport users, including people of determination, with cash prizes worth AED 100,000 in total.

"Five other public transport riders from among RTA employees will be selected as winners of prizes amounting to AED 50,000,” said Ahmad Behroozian, CEO of RTA’s Public Transport Agency and Chairman of the Organising Committee of RTA’s Public Transport Day events.

What's happening in Dubai for Public Transport Day?

The giveaways is one part of the RTA's #WeMoveTogether initiative that is running in the lead up to Public Transport Day on November 1st, 2018.

Alongside the above Public Transport Movers' Award, the RTA have a number of other activities that Dubai residents can get involved with.
